We’re excited to share updated OregonBuys statistics with you. Here are the usage numbers to date:
- 411 Bids posted
- 1,866 staff user logins
As more staff are using the system, they are sharing their experiences with us. We're using the feedback to add topics to our new System User Tips and Tricks guide which is now posted in OregonBuys for state staff who have an account.
Over the past month, the project team focused its energy on completing the Phase II schedule and the procure-to-pay and wave one implementation plans. We anticipate finalizing and communicating the results in early September.
Next up is to complete an enterprise process inventory and process design for Phase II functionality. Starting in September, volunteers from 13 agencies will help us capture current state processes for requisitions, purchase orders, receiving, and invoicing. Once the processes are documented, we'll determine how to convert them over to OregonBuys.
